DPNow Salon competition No.55 - SURPRISE!

Re: DPNow Salon competition No.55 - SURPRISE!

This is far from a great picture technically, but fits the salon theme, I think.

I had just gone on this fairgound ride, which shoots you into the air about 60 mph. The rest of my family refused to go on. However, when I came off I persuaded my wife and son it was actually great fun and they would enjoy it, I managed to capture this as they lifted-off!

They still haven't forgiven me .

Neil,

This is one from a storyboard series of images that I took at an event called Dock Dogs, held at the Bath & West agricultural show which I was visiting. The idea is that you (the owner) stand at the back of a raised platform and throw a rubber toy into a 40ft long pool, then send your water-loving mutt after it. This is Murphy, a springer spaniel, who eventually took third place with a leap of 15ft 9in! (despite his expression, he couldn't get enough of it, but maybe the water was a tad cold )

A nice dog and a wonderful pic! I did not know a dog's facial expression could be so rich.

Re: DPNow Salon competition No.55 - SURPRISE!

Hi all, hope you had a great Christmas (if you were celebrating) - a combination of internet problems (which eventually entailed downloading and installing new router firmware) plus entertaining guests at home have prevented me from getting online - sorry!

I will sort through the pix tonight and posy an update tomorrow morning!

Ian, was that tomorrow or New Years Day?

Re: DPNow Salon competition No.55 - SURPRISE!

Hi Jocelyn -

Hope you enjoyed the festivities.

Ian has had internet connection problems and think they must have returned after the last fix.

Enjoyed a quiet Christmas day thanks, but in my field of work, Christmas holiday season means more hours at work! I hope you are having an enjoyable & relaxed Festive Season! My comment to Ian was very tongue in cheek, as I was aware there were internet problems! That Christmas day or New Years day for that matter, would be difficult to find time to post salon results, with family & friends to be with...let alone website & internet connectivity problems! So Ian, 'have a good one mate!' as the Australian saying goes!

Re: DPNow Salon competition No.55 - RESULT!

Hi everyone and a belated Happy New Year.

I'm sorry that it's taken so long to get the result posted for Salon 55 - I needed a break and so most work-oriented things came to a halt. But it's back to work and first on the list is the Salon.

Thank you everyone who entered - it was a tough assignment, but we had some good entries.

3rd place goes to: Roger's Doberman - surprised not to be allowed into the bedroom!

2nd place goes to: Neil's fairground ride shot - having done this off the top of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, I know exactly how they feel!

And my winner is: Jo Jo's j-jumping dog - that expression is priceless

Well done Jo Jo!

So it'd over to you now Jo....
